FIGNORE makes bash only ignore filename completion results that end with
one of the specified suffixes and are not exactly equal to the suffix.
So, for example, FIGNORE=xyz will ignore `abcxyz', and `xyzxyz', but
not `xyz'.
>From the documentation it is not clear that FIGNORE should work this
way, and there are legitimate use cases that need FIGNORE to ignore a
file that matches exactly the suffix (for example, FIGNORE=.DS_Store;
though FIGNORE=DS_Store would also work.)
I think it makes sense to change the behaviour of FIGNORE to also ignore
results that are exactly equal one of the suffix.
Alternatively, I think the documentation should be updated to clarify
that files don't match FIGNORE suffixes that are exactly equal to their
name.
